GSupernova said: F_94 said: Also, it's amusing how the characters in this anime are so passionate about their survival games and take them seriously. It's ridiculous but boy does it make this anime enjoyable. Is it really that ridiculous? It seems a little hypocritical to judge considering anime is looked at in the same light by a lot of people... being passionate about a hobby is normal. Not sure if ridiculous is the right word for me. I'd say it's almost excessive? But eh, it makes it better, I think. It's cool and amusing how seriously they take it. This anime is turning out to be so nice and entertaining. I look forward to more of it. (And to when the boys find out that Hotaru is actually a girl. That'll be fun.) Definitely worthwhile to watch. And about the one shot: |
 "It's a conversation through instruments. A miracle that creates harmony. In that moment, music transcends words." - Miyazono Kaori "Laziness is the mother of all bad habits. But ultimately she is a mother and we should respect her." - Nara Shikamaru "You think you're special? You're not. Everyone lies, everyone hides things... Nobody makes it through this life being completely honest." - Orihara Izaya |
| That guy is hilarious. So the test is if she wins she gets everything for free? That must be it. |
| Another good episode |
| I love Yukimura. |
| Not bad. Was playing with a Glock 17 and an M9 during the episode. Makes me happy when I'm actually able to recognize all the guns in the show purely on sight. Tachibana's got that warrior's high. It's plenty exciting when you know that it's all fun and games and you don't end up dead for real. I know the feeling well (though getting shot by an mp5 at close range hurts like a mofo...). The doctor seems pretty sadistic. I want to know more about his previous encounters with Yukimura. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| I realize this is only twelve episodes, but still, isn't it a bit early to be done with the debt storyline? When you make it the primary reason Hotaru joined the survival games in the first place, one would expect the (literal) payoff to be a bigger thing. |

| The recap at the start was a little slow, so I'm glad the pace picked up a bit during the Akihabara shopping scene. The petting scene was cute too. Looking forward to see what mayhem these new characters bring. |
| That tension at the end was insane. Great cliffhanger. |

It seems a little hypocritical to judge considering anime is looked at in the same light by a lot of people... being passionate about a hobby is normal. I just meant that the premise of the anime is a bit over-the-top. I get you, they keep saying "now that you tasted the battle field you can't turn back" and "you can't turn back to ordinary life"... It's like they are talking about war and death or more like underestimating it. It's not that airsoft isn't cool, it's just that they are trying to turn it into something impossible. I think if this was a sports orientated anime it would be way better. |

| Ever since Midori showed his face I was getting yandere vibes... looks like I may have been right? lol still confused. Man, the humor in this show reminds me of Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun. Good stuff. |

I think if this was a sports orientated anime it would be way better.  i guess in japan it can be more addicting though, given how there life is way more slow-paced and pacifistic(and also demanding) than usa or europe, while yet having a lot more people that would enjoy it due to animes and simple rebel-ism, so i can see how they might consider it some sort of drug there just to get out some of the stresss that come from the work deadlines or from the constant study and stuff. |

| This is worst than Laplace. No offense to RL airsoft players but this anime makes the sport look ridiculous...... >_> |

I'm not saying that, it has nothing to do about Japan view or take on Airsoft... It's just they try to do this in every sport anime, trying to turn it in over the top fad. Kuroko no Basket was the same thing, trying to surpass Slam Dunk they used those super-powers techniques making highschoolers 10 times better then NBA players, it's just ridiculous... Airsoft is a sport, why not leave it to that, isn't it already interesting? Why turn it in "Brothers in Arms"? |
| Enjoyed it, this episode. Yukimura's hilarious, lmao. That Midori's an interesting one. |

AnimeFan500 said: Was Midori the one who bullied Yukimura? I think the same thing, let's see what will happen. A good episode with a lot of actions, it was very funny. |
Hibbington said: This show just took out a pivotal storyline with Tachibana's debt from their story(They didn't make any money last episode and got booted out in round two >.<) and made their whole first episode completely meaningless. Leaving me in disarray with the show and having to start my grading of it as a 3.4 out of 10. Skipping over an entire plot point is not something I can overlook. Since when paying debt is pivotal to the storyline? Different from you I actually thankful that they decided to ditch that aspect, since it would not be good if they continue to carry on the story based on that weak pivot. |
| Good episode. After that body check I am sure that the guy knows that Hotaru is actually a girl. |

| I just think that the whole "I forgot to tell them i'm a girl again!" schtick is really damn stupid. It's one thing to dress as a boy but I hate that it's used as a half-assed device to keep things going. How many times are we going to hear her thinking "but i'm a girl though derp" without actually saying anything when she's been wanting to say it all this time? At least that's the impression I get since she reminds us every episode... I hope I articulated this correctly, fuck. The desire to drop this is strong but I didn't expect this episode to end this way. It seems like i'll be sticking around for another week. |
| yeah... couldn't they have just allowed girl to play from the start? |
| This is so boring.. and a little bit stupid I like Mikako Komatsu but I'm gonna have to drop this. This season happens to have a lot of comedies and they are all better than this. |
 |
| The animation is great |
| That white-haired doctor is fucking weird. I hope it doesn't lean on him being a wuss. Pet his fucking head? Is he fucking kidding? |
| 臭い- |
| And the debt side-plot is out? Mane, so unrealistic even for an anime. She played 1 game, they didn't won. On top of it,, she actually broke some expensive stuff. I guess the mangaka wanted to go for a surprise. Like the readers wouldn't expect this and so on. I would have preferred it the other way, even if that's cliche. Surprisingly, they managed to make it work. Hmm I guess it wasn't bad. The 2nd half was kinda meh tho. I don't like the so called "badass" moments. This show takes itself a little too seriously at times. I hope it improves 'cause I really like the premise. |
 |
| Kinda weird how they completely dropped the debt sideplot but ok... Yukimura is hilarious |
[center] [/center] |
| NWOOOOOOOOOOAWEFAWEOFAWEOFWOFWQEOFWEFO, fuckin cliffhanger. I totally forgot that this is action series until the "going up" part. |
  |
| Not sure what to think of the plot of this one, kinda meh to be honest. Somehow I like it, yet I dislike it at the same time. Will watch some more... |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| I'm really confused about the atmosphere of this anime...so much Yaoi themes but a mash of war games...anyways looks like Tachibana would be put to the test and Yukimura suddenly went crazy aggro to that guy on last part... 3/5. |
 |
| Hotaru should've checked the amount of money in the envelope. Seriously, that was way too irresponsible... -_- A host and an erotic Mangaka are really not good influences for a high school girl. |
| the beginning of this episode felt really rushed... she paid off her debts and left the team, just to rejoin them a few minutes later. |
 |
| i wonder whats up with the yandere midori guy and yukimura o.o |
| Interesting development! I do wonder what that ending was all about! |
 |
| Is mommy faithful? lol Rape face. Grown ass man telling another grown ass man to pet him and grown ass man does it. Wat! Hotaru OP AF! Body check. Yoshitsugu got beef. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| they should of slowly developed her interest. Instead of skipping it to the end and saying she loved the sport. |
 |
| Episode 3 :: Vol. 1, Ch. 1-2 Ahhh. We get to meet Midori here. I kind of wish that they would have switched around Matsuoka, Midori, and Yukki's voice actors here. Put Midori's voice as Corey, Matsuoka to be Chris, and Yukki as Greg. There were a lot of extra flaps here, too. This wasn't a great dub episode. HAHA. |
| Yukki and his ero hon was so adorbssssss xD can't get enough of his M version <3 Dayumz, Midori had an ooglay face at the end D: I wonder if he used to be one of Yukki's bullies :'( Anyways, I'm glad the debt thing was settled quickly so ppl can shut up about comparing this to Ouran, smh. Try to enjoy it as its own series without comparisons D; |
| Hmmm old rivals? I wonder, is he one of the bullies from when Yukimura was still in high school? But that doctor's creepy; creepier than the scary blond one lol |
